This is another great hymn which should be on DT, and isn't. There seems to be a certain squeamishness about hymns around. No one even calls them hymns, they say "gospel songs" (which to me means a much narrower category - 20th Century Black church music, usually with an organ accompaniment. like Aretha Franklin songs or "The Reason Why I Sing") How come?

BLOOD OF THE LAMB

Elisha A Hoffman, 1878

Have you been to Jesus for the friendly power?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?
Are you fully trusting in His greatness hour?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you washed (Are you washed)
In the blood (In the blood)
In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
Are your garments spotless? Are they white as snow?
Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?

Are you walking daily by the Savior's side?
Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?

When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright?

Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin,
And be washed in the blood of the Lamb;
There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean,
Oh be washed in the Blood of the Lamb!

Recorded by Ernest V. Stoneman and his Dixie Mountaineers, July 25, 1927, for the Victor label, and available on "The Bristol Sessions" (CMF Records).
